SB Developments Releases Renderings for 55 Story Edgewater Project
In the heart of Miami’s Edgewater neighborhood, a new architectural masterpiece is set to redefine the city’s skyline. Located at 419 Northeast 19th Street, this 55-story tower is a testament to modern design and strategic investment.
The project, occupying a 14,190-square-foot triangular plot near the iconic Margaret Pace Park and Biscayne Bay, is a collaboration between the renowned New York-based architectural firm, Fogarty Finger, and a joint venture of SB Development and Hazelton Capital Group. With a towering height of 641 feet, this development will not only be a significant addition to Miami’s skyline but also a beacon of luxury living.

The tower’s design, characterized by its slender and curved profile, boasts curved corners, striking horizontal lines, and a pristine white stucco finish. The wraparound balconies with glass handrails and floor-to-ceiling glazing ensure that residents enjoy panoramic views of the city.
A unique feature of this tower is its base and crown, which share a cohesive design language. The facade is adorned with sections of long, narrow horizontal openings screened with aluminum. The crown, however, stands out with its elegantly curved motif that extends from the rooftop slab, adding a touch of sophistication.
The residential units within the tower cater to a diverse clientele, ranging from studio units of 403 square feet to expansive 4-bedroom units spanning 2,322 square feet.
The current site, known as Parcel B, houses an older condo building set for demolition. The new tower will be integrated with the adjacent property, the Cite’ on the Bay Condominium, enhancing the overall value of the area.
However, the developer is seeking several waivers in connection with the project, primarily due to the unique shape of the lot and to ensure efficient vehicular traffic. These waivers include reductions in setbacks, drive aisle width, parking stall length, and the total number of required parking spaces, among others.
With its modern design, luxury amenities, and prime location, it promises to be a jewel in Miami’s real estate crown.
